The Asia Cup 2025 culminated with India’s victory over Pakistan, with India winning by 5 wickets in the final. Following the match, Captain Suryakumar Yadav and Player of the Tournament Abhishek Sharma attended a press conference. A Pakistani journalist used the opportunity to express grievances towards Suryakumar Yadav. The journalist questioned Yadav’s conduct, specifically pointing out the lack of friendly gestures like handshakes and photo sessions, and criticizing the nature of the press conference as being politically driven. He implied Yadav was the first captain to bring politics into cricket. Yadav, in response, maintained composure, smiling before offering a direct response. His reaction was interpreted as a fitting reply to the journalist’s implied criticism. While his individual scoring was modest, with only 60 runs, Yadav led the Indian team to victory, making the team undefeated throughout the tournament and securing the Asia Cup title.
